RaveThe New York Journal of BooksKhizr Khan’s memoir An American Family talks about that moment at the DNC and about his son in general in the last few chapters. However the bulk of the memoir is a roadmap to his life, and the life of every immigrant who arrives on America’s shores with the hope of a better future ... there is a heartwarming message to all Americans: that our diversity is what makes us stronger and more beautiful a nation ...memoir is not only full of Khizr’s struggles but also of stories that warm the heart: strangers who helped him along the way... An American Family is a practical tale of one man’s life as he works to improve himself and his family’s lot in life. But it is also a testament to family values and love...a testament to that anger and a vivid, engaging explanation of how the son of a Pakistani farmer became such a staunch patriot of the United States.
